If you’re considering starting up a blog, planning in advance is essential. One of the joys of blogging is that it can take any direction which you want it to – perhaps even directions which you hadn’t anticipated. This can be governed by your audience or customers and ideas from other people as well as your own imagination and ideas. However, it’ll be quite a while before you have enough content for your blog to be well established. Here are 3 important tips for start-up bloggers:

• Decide which site you’re going to use. There are a number of popular options around which won’t cost very much at all. Blogs can be available free but you won’t be able to choose your own domain name so it’s probably worth paying for your own.
• Make a decision about the overall tone of your blog. What kind of topics will it cover? What kind of language will reflect these topics well? Once you’ve chosen your tone, stick to it.
• Have a list of topics in mind. You’ll come up with plenty more as you get into it but it’s important to have a good starting point so that you don’t get stuck after a few posts.
